BTW, Roman, when discussing Spark’s move to Apache, and becoming Apache Spark, this same question was asked. The things I’ve purported in these situations is that it is fine to credit pre-Apache work as simply the project name. Universities by their very nature don’t compete with companies, nor do they compete technologically with 501c3 charities and other foundations. I’m not saying they are prohibited with competing. I’m saying, that there isn’t a competition. Companies can put 100-1000 people on a single feature. Universities don’t have the bandwidth to do that at a University, and they are a different beast, than say, company X, company Y and Z that have agreed to bring prior project A now renamed Apache A. We should assume good faith in these situations dealing with prior use. Clarifications are always welcomed, but we’re not going to go back and update 1000+ research papers and change all references of Spark to Apache Spark it’s not feasible, nor is it desired because it was Spark first, to start out with, and academic research use is not competing with its use or name as an Apache project.
